    Rufus is supposed to work just fine. Probably a setting was off.

    Did flashing fix your fan issue?

    nope still doesn't seem to be spinning up till 90, the bios i downloaded was from 2012 and didnt have any fan controls so I cant test it by ramping it up in the bios as I cant seem to find a download link or anyone that replies when asked about an updated p170em bios or atleast one that has fan control

    The EC is what controls the fan profile. I think the last release for this model was 1.05.01 for both the BIOS & KBC/EC firmware.

    Fan speed is supposed to gradually reach about 80% on auto somewhere in the 80s Celsius, while 100% is only activated with the FN and 1 hotkey toggle, IIRC. There isn't much else in the way of manual fan control.
